passion into.
After witnessing the escalating harassment of new student Lucy (Alycia Pascual-Peña) and inspired by the forgotten mementos of her mother's grungey rebellious feminist past Vivian starts to publish the scrappy 'zine "Moxie" calling out the behaviour of the school's "jock" contingent.
The acts of rebellion spiral and Vivian begins to lose her way and her connections with those around her.
This somewhat identikit High School drama takes the usual ingredients and stirs in a big dollop of #MeToo relevance while staying YA friendly.
It's well crafted with decent performances and writing but also very pedestrian. Probably excellent issue aware family viewing but suffers from being very "safe" to achieve this. It ends very suddenly in a feelgood way when there were consequences still unresolved that would have made it land harder.
7/10 essentially if you want a High School movie and haven't seen "Booksmart" watch that instead. It's not covering the same issues but it's just better.
